The Government of India offers, every year, 22 scholarship slots to meritorious students from Indonesia and 10 scholarship slots to meritorious students from Timor Leste to pursue their higher studies in Indian universities and colleges. The scholarships are granted for studies at Undergraduate & Post-graduate levels and in research subjects under M.Phil. and Ph.D.

The scholarships are administered by the Indian Council of Cultural Relations (ICCR) under its General Scholarships Scheme (GSS). Applications for scholarships under this scheme are invited in the month of December every year.

Applications need to be submitted to the Embassy of India in Jakarta only and not direct to ICCR or the concerned University.
